Sea Aster mining bee (Colletes halophilus) solitary bees on a Garden Bank in Conyer, Kent

Sea aster mining bee nesting in a nondescript bank on the edge of a garden in Conyer, Kent. These #solitarybees feed exclusively on sea aster. And the bank was a thriving mass of these small #bees. If you listen carefully you will hear the girl in the garden say - 'I don't like bees"!!!! The bees were burrowing and going into their holes. Others, probably males were just 'loitering' waiting for the chance to mate. This was filmed on a grey day in August in 2011.
